the quality of teaching in school and its impact on children’s progress and achievement;

the relationships between the school and its stakeholders, especially parents;

the public information we provide about the school.

We also have four committees that only meet when required, and which do not have fixed membership. Any governor may act as a member of one of these committees:

Complaints CommitteeConsiders any complaints referred to it under the school’s Complaints Policy.

Hearings Committee
Considers any issue referred to it under the school’s policies concerning staff grievance, discipline, capability or redundancy.

Appeals Committee
Considers any appeals by members of staff against decisions by the Headteacher or the Finance, Staffing and Premises Committee that are referred to it.

Pupil Discipline Committee
Considers any decision by the Headteacher to exclude pupils and decides whether or not to uphold it.

National Governors' Association

The governing body has considerable discretion as to how to discharge its responsibilities but is required to constitute itself in line with the regulations and to appoint a chair and vice chair. The governing body may delegate certain of its responsibilities to certain governors or committees of governors, although in general, it is not compelled to do so.
